Hadoop World 2011: Hadoop and RDBMS with Sqoop and Other Tools - Guy Harrison, Quest Software

As Hadoop graduates from pilot project to a mission critical component of the enterprise IT infrastructure, integrating information held in Hadoop and in Enterprise RDBMS becomes imperative. We’ll look at key scenarios driving Hadoop and RDBMS integration and review technical options. In particular, we’ll deep dive into the Apache SQOOP project, which expedites data movement between Hadoop and any JDBC database, as well as providing an framework which allows developers and vendors to create connectors optimized for specific targets such as Oracle, Netezza etc.
